Military Diet and Vegetables

Do you remember what your Mom said about eating the vegetables like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale, and Brussel Sprouts etc…She might have said that they’re healthy but even she doesn’t know the real benefits of these cruciferous vegetables.

The actual benefit of these vegetables is that they help you burn more fat than the regular veggies that you consume in your diet.

Generally, our body is exposed to the harmful chemicals like Xenoestrogens in many ways, such as through pesticide effected foods, household cleaners, drinking polluted water and even comes from the cosmetics that we use every day. These Xenoestrogens force our body to hold onto belly fat and can also cause hormonal imbalance in our body.

Fortunately, these cruciferous vegetables are rich in phytonutrients that fight against these harmful chemicals like Xenoestrogens stored in our body. So, if you eat these fat burning vegetables regularly, you’re not only losing weight, but also improving the overall health in a cost-effective way.
